Kin Insurance Secures $4m in Funding

Investors included Commerce Ventures, Omidyar Network, 500 Startups, Chicago Ventures and Portag3 Ventures, as well as angels including founders and alumni from other top tech companies such as Avant, Square, Capital One, Linkedin and Facebook.

The company is using the funds to expand operations.

Kin is built on modern technology without paper and legacy IT systems, and does not rely on local brokers for distribution.
